Author's notes:
I really want to thank those of you who reviewed and favourited me, so I give you chapter two as a thank you gift. However, I couldn't make it any longer cause I don't have enough time. I'm leaving for Taiwan tomorrow night and I haven't packed… so I won't be able to update next week… sorry…
Once again, thanks for the reviews, etc. I'll try to make my next chapter longer! I promise!
All of a sudden, a blurry figure pushed him out of the way as the water prison closed around him, effectively caging his savior.
The last and only thing that flashed through his mind as he flew towards a couple of trees; What the hell was that!
Tch. Trapped in a water prison. Typical Kiri Ninja. No imagination at all.
Without hesitation, she unsheathed her sword. Almost at once her body was engulfed by bright, blue flames. The fire seemed to bend around her, protecting her instead of burning.
Slightly startled, the rogue nin pulled his hand out of the water prison, cutting off the flow of chakra, stopping the jutsu as the fire licked hungrily at his hand.
No one had ever managed to escape his water prison so quickly before!
The kunoichi flipped in the air and landed on her toes a few feet away.
"Yo." The kunoichi stated calmly, flashing a relaxed grin. " Name's Kuro. I know... It's a common name but hey! Not complaining! Anyways, nice to meet you!"
Zabuza regained his composure. He performed a few hand signs before drawing a cloak of mist from the lake he was standing.
"Hiding? Really? I'm flattered you fine me worthy of your mist." the gutsy female ninja cocked her head to the side.
All of a sudden, Zabuza materialized behind the team. He lifted his giant sword and swiftly swung it towards the weakest member of the team, Tazuna.
The surprised kunoichi dashed towards her opponent , blocking the blow with her sword, just in time. She swiftly retrieved a kunai from her pouch and plunged into the rogue's stomach. Water poured out of his wound rapidly.
"Eh? Water clone? First you aim for the weak , then you send out a clone. Exactly what has the village of the hidden mist taught you?." She sneered haughtily, nose in the air.
The rogue appeared from the mist, eyes narrowed, killer intent in buckets.
"It appears my mist is of no use." He said, deceptively calm as he dispelled the technique with ease. However, the fleeting look of annoyance and anger did not go unnoticed by his opponent. Much to the delight of Kuro of course. By then, Kakashi had recovered from his shock and had stood up to study the battle and the two nin involved in the epic fight. He did not stay still for long and as soon as he felt ready enough, the ex-ANBU jumped back into the fray.
The kunoichi nodded at him, letting him take over. She leaped to the side of his team, ignoring their annoying inquiries about her identify, defenses raised high. However, the dog- loving ninja had more pressing matters to deal with.
Kakashi glared at his opponent. His glare was returned with double the hatred. The rogue began to form hand seals rapidly. Kakashi took it as a sign that the battle had recommenced and began fluidly copying his opponent's hand seals with his sharingan.
A few water jutsus were exchanged between the two shinobi. As the number of jutsus performed increased, the amount of chakra used for each of them increased. Using his well-developed IQ and sharingan, Kakashi figured out what jutsu opponent was going to use and completed the jutsu a split second before the rogue, throwing him off his feet.
The demon of the hidden mist landed in the lake, back against the port. He had a senbon sticking out of his neck. A moment later an ANBU of the hidden mist appeared, carrying the dead Zabuza to shore.
" You are an ANBU of the hidden mist?" Questioned Kakashi suspicious of the sudden appearance of the young and lean-bodied boy.
" Yes. This man is a dangerous missing nin of the hidden mist. I will take his body to dispose of it." Replied the young ANBU softly. He turned and left with the rogue nin in tow.
Kakashi nodded. He promptly fell on his knees, landing on the ground, exhausted.
"Kakashi-sensei!" yelled his students in unison, not expecting this outcome at all. The kunoichi, however, managed to catch him before he fell to the ground. It was then that they all directed their attention to me.
" Who are you?" asked the pesky blonde. The other members of the team nodded in agreement, asking, no, demanding for an answer to the blondie's question. She answered, " My name is Takumi Kuro."
-FIN-
